"The child's father, what did the village chief say?"
When Jiang Mu returned home, Jiang's mother hurriedly asked, with a worried look on her face that could not disappear.
"Why!"
Jiang Mu sighed, as if he had aged a few years. He opened his mouth, but was speechless, and finally turned into a sigh.
"Tell me something, why are you sighing all the time? What's wrong?" Jiang Mu immediately scolded him in a hurry, but Jiang Mu still sighed and couldn't help but stepped forward and pinched him.
Jiang Mu then said helplessly, "What else can we do? The village chief said that this time it is Xiaozhu's turn."
"What?"
Jiang's mother was stunned. Although she had known for a long time that it was Xiao Zhu's turn, she still couldn't accept the result.
"Why, Xiaozhu, she is so young, doesn't this, isn't this harming her?"
As she said this, Jiang's mother couldn't help crying.
"Okay, keep your voice down, don't let Xiao Zhu hear it." After Jiang Mu finished speaking, he sighed again, "So what, the girl from Lao Yu's family is not about the same age as Xiao Zhu, and she wasn't married last month.
Sent away."
"Then what should we do?" Jiang's mother wiped her tears, "We can't just watch Xiao Zhu die."
"Why don't we let Xiaozhu leave?" Jiang's mother couldn't help but suggest.
"Where can we escape?" Jiang Mu punched the table, "These two mountains are their territory. I'm afraid we will be caught by them when we step out."
"Then, how about letting Xiaozhu hide in the mountains?" Jiang's mother suggested again, "Let her come out after the Baptismal Festival."
"What's the use?" Jiang Mu said impatiently, "They haven't seen anyone, and our entire village won't be able to save it by then."
"Besides, if Xiaozhu is gone, it will only be someone else's turn. Whoever's child is not their own flesh, they will definitely hate us. Even if Xiaozhu escapes the baptism, they will be retaliated by others.
of."
"This won't work, that won't work, then tell me how to do it." Jiang Mu was a little angry, after all, all the ideas he finally came up with were rejected by him.
Jiang Mu opened his mouth, but he really couldn't think of any good ideas, so he kept sighing and feeling depressed.
He has such a daughter, how could he be willing to let something happen to her, let alone push her into a pit of fire with his own hands.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry."
At this time, the door was pushed open and Xiaozhu walked in. Apparently their conversation was heard.
"I'll just go."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang's mother suddenly became anxious, "Do you know the price of baptism?"
"I know." Xiaozhu nodded solemnly.
"You don't know." Jiang's mother became even more angry, "Look at the daughter of the old Zhang family. She was sent there the year before last and she hasn't come back yet. She's neither alive nor dead. Everyone knows she won't come back.
,you……"
Jiang's mother couldn't speak anymore, so she rushed over and hugged Xiaozhu tightly, "My son, oh oh oh, you have such a miserable life!"
Xiaozhu patted her mother's back and said, "Mom, please stop crying, this is my life."
"If I don't go, the whole village will suffer. It's worth trading my life for the whole village."
"But, but..."
Jiang's mother wanted to say something more, but she didn't know what to say because Xiaozhu told the truth.
There is no one else who doesn't love their daughter, but why do they still send their daughter away no matter how much they feel sad? This is not only for themselves, but also for the village.
"Okay, don't cry." Jiang Mu sighed and stood up from the stool, "There are still a few days, I will think about it and see if there is any other way."
With that said, he walked outside. Halfway through, he looked back at his wife and daughter, "Let Xiaozhu eat well these days!"
If he doesn't come up with any good ideas, he can only bear the pain and give up.
When Jiang Mu left, Jiang's mother hugged Xiaozhu and cried again.
It was impossible for Xiaozhu not to be afraid, but there was no other way. The only way out of this matter was to hand her over.
Although her strength has improved now, she doesn't think she can handle Xiaozenji.
After leaving the house, she was a little confused and didn't know what to do. She used to work every day and go to the mountains to pick herbs. Although she was busy, she lived a fulfilling life.
Now that I know my ending, I suddenly have no desire to struggle and no passion for life.
However, she knew that the only thing she had to do was to prepare for her death and sell the good things she had saved in the past for money. When she left, her parents would not have to work so hard.
By the way, I also have to say goodbye to Sister Lin.
Alas, I will never have the chance to listen to Sister Lin's stories in the future. She still wants to hear stories about the battles of strong men in the foundation building stage.
She did not tell Lin Su about this, nor did she seek her help. After all, Lin Su was injured and she did not want to involve Lin Su.
Although she knew that Lin Su was very powerful, she felt that Xiaochan Temple was even more terrifying and it would be more dangerous to involve Lin Su.
And, after all, this is your own business.
…………
After Lin Su came out of seclusion, she saw Xiaozhu sitting at the door in a daze, and seemed to be in a bad mood, and she suddenly became confused.
"It's nothing." Xiaozhu forced a smile, "I just had a nightmare and I haven't recovered yet."
Lin Su did not expose her, but smiled and touched her head, "If you have anything, just tell me, I'm very powerful."
"Yes, I will." Xiaozhu nodded solemnly, and then quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Sister Lin, your rock vine is gone, let me pick it for you!"
"No, I'll go by myself!"
Xiaozhu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lin Su, "You saw that I killed the terrifying tiger, so there is no danger to me on the mountain at all."
Xiaozhu was silent for a moment. Later, she and Lin Su often went to pick herbs, and Lin Su also taught her how to identify elixirs. The two went deep into the forest and encountered a tiger.
Lin Su also asked her to fight a tiger, but she had no fighting experience at all. Instead, she was in a hurry and was almost killed by the tiger. Lin Su killed the tiger with one punch.
Therefore, the most terrifying thing on the mountain was the tiger, but Lin Su could kill the tiger with one punch, so there was indeed no danger to her on the mountain.
"Sister Lin, didn't you say you wanted to find a retreat in the mountains? I know which place is safe."
After a while, Xiaozhu spoke again. She would leave in a few days. Lin Su would definitely find something was wrong by then. If she caught up and had a conflict with Xiaochansi, it would be bad.
Therefore, Xiao Zhu thought of luring Lin Su away for a while. Lin Su had also said before that he wanted to find a cave to retreat. Xiao Zhu thought that home would be fine, so Lin Su didn't say much. Now the situation is different.
Seeing that Lin Su's expression was not right, Xiaozhu quickly explained, "Sister Lin, no, it's not me who wants to drive you away, yes, it's me..."
"I understand." Lin Su nodded, "You are afraid that I will conflict with your parents!"
In fact, her parents have never liked her very much. After all, her origins are unknown, and she also consumes food at home. Although she often hunts and brings back a lot of prey, nothing has changed.
Xiaozhu's parents still often said in private that they wanted to drive her away, but Xiaozhu stopped her time and time again.
When Xiaozhu heard that Lin Su had misunderstood, he immediately stopped explaining, which was fine.
